No open port!!!

A few weeks ago, i started my own server.
I watched a tutorial on youtube and begun setting my server online.
I have a cisco router and portforwarded it on 25565 (both) ip4adress.
but, when i checked it if my port 25565 was open, it said it wasn't
Someone please help me.

 

The portchecker will only "see" the open port, if the service which you try to set up (bukkit) is currently running. That means, if you set up the portforwarding correctly but you dont have the server running, a portchecker wont see that open port.

 

i've tried it, but i can only access my server by typing in localhost or my ip4 adress.
It says that Port 25565 is closed on (My-ip) when my server is running.

 

Set the IP address to outside in server.properties

 

It didn't do anything

 

The server crashes when i try it

 

Do i have to pay for my server or something?

 

No you don't

 

Hmmmm, i ragequitted my 1.4.6 server and deleted the whole file, gonna try it with 1.4.7 .

Nope, my friends are still seeing the Can't reach server.
